Oligodendroglioma with IDH Mutation is a type of brain tumour that starts from special brain cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells normally help protect and support the nerves in the brain. In this cancer, the cells begin to grow in an abnormal and uncontrolled way.
It has an IDH mutation and 1p/19q co-deletion, it means the tumour has certain genetic changes. Interestingly, these changes usually mean the tumour behaves better compared to other brain cancers and often responds more positively to treatment.
Many sufferers of Oligodendroglioma with IDH Mutation struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Oligodendroglioma with IDH Mutation. We have recently created an Oligodendroglioma with IDH Mutation resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
